I just love it when all you high levels attack some guy who has much lower stats than you people do.

 

I love how like yourself think that people are bashing him because he's a low level, when if you'd actually read the responses instead of going into your usual child-in-a-Walmart-parking-lot fit, you'd know that people are bashing him because he is impatient, rants like an eight year old ("and as well as being stupid."), and doesn't understand basic concepts of money sinks and slow skills.

 

I'll quote some of the people who have encouraged him, but if you can find a single post bashing him specifically for being low level, go ahead and quote it.

 

should be proud of what you've achieved already imo.

lol...add me in game...i could possibly help you make more money...lol

As for skills being slow, at your level I seriously doubt it. If your skills were in the 60s or 70s then maybe you could complain that, but for low levels I don't buy it.

 

With the other posts being general advice on how to make money and train. So again, feel free to find me this bashing based on level.

 

Stop it right now and think about it if you were in his shoes. I was picked on a lot too as a lower level, but I had the benefit of not seeing near as many high levels as you do today.

 

I was in his shoes at one point, except I didn't whine about how Jagex should make the game easier to cater to me. I continued leveling.

 

Please try to respect others.

 

Please stop posting until you start fact checking what you write.

I havnt spent any money on summoning, and ive profited off herb.

 

Sorry your not smart enough to figure out how to train correctly :rolleyes:

How do you train summoning without spending any money?

 

Mostly tears, but there is plenty of methods to break even or *gasp* profit off summoning as well. Without having to carry around a familiar everywhere (like fruit bats, or magpie)

I trained summoning to level 47 basically just on tears.

I'm sure you can profit, but that still costs money in the first place.

Spirit spider or whatever it is, use the scrolls and creates some red spider eggs for you to pick up. They sell for about 400 gp on the GE each, buy pouches for like 850, scroll about 65, and you make a profit with only 3 eggs made. Make more and the profit is higher. Go yonder, padawan, and train your summoning with a profit.

I was 65 herblore a couple days ago... I got to 72 herblore in a few hours and made about 7M profit in the process. You don't have to make pots to get XP. Try cleaning herbs...

I should mention to this that there is a GREAT risk, because you can lose a LOT of money if the prices change (since you would have to buy a lot of herbs because they give so little exp, a lot of gp inveted, but it can also mean that you may profit a lot from it)

I phrased the question wrong. What i really meant was, how can I make a load of money without training combat?

 

On top of that, all of you really need to get a life. If you play runescape so long that you have 80-99 in every skill, you need to go outside. Seriously.

lolbump. your original phrasing sounded nothing like that, just "this skill is too expensive" or "this skill is too slow" or "waaahwaahcrycry"

We can argue technicalitys all we want, but half the skills in this game are moneysinks.

If Construction and Summoning; as well as Ranged, Herblore, and magic insofar as you buy vials/seconds, arrows, and runes from NPCs; constitute half the skills, then I was sorely mistaken by my impression that this game had 25 skills.

 

I suppose one could argue firemaking, since every maple log comes from MTK.

Exaggeration, but generally speaking.

 

Smithing, herblore, crafting, construction, cooking, firemaking, prayer, summoning, are all moneysinks.

 

Its good at a couple of these have some usage in them, but some things like crafting/smithing are pretty much useless outside getting quest requirements or a cape.

Smithing adds gold to the game.

Herblore is roughly neutral.

Crafting adds gold to the game.

Cooking is roughly neutral.

Prayer is neutral.

Smithing-adds money through alching of plates/finished products

 

herblore-except for herbs obtained through MTK nothing is added or lost

 

crafting-tanning hides is a money sink, but its added back by alching dhide bodies

 

construction-money sink

 

cooking-nothing is added or lost

 

firemaking-except for MTK, not a money sink

 

prayer-no gold is removed from the game, except for gilded alters

 

summoning-money sink

 

are all moneysinks.

money changing hands is not a money sink, the money must be removed from the game.

Sorry for not clarifying, i dont mean moneysink as in takes money out of the game, but moneysink as in a skill which adds little to the actual user, while being extremely expensive for said user to train.

 

Sure, in the grand scheme of things, smithing and crafting add gold into the game. But for a singular user, they cost a significant amount to train while giving the person little in terms of actual usage. With the only real reward being the skillcape + quest requirements.

thats a buyable skill, not a money sink.

No, some buyable skills arent moneysinks.

 

Fletching for example, is a buyable skill, but you can actually profit off the thing.

 

Though yes, it is useless.

 

IMO, useless skills that cost loads are moneysinks in my book, because your money is sunk into it, and you aint getting nothing back.

 

But again, sorry for not clarifying.

That is not the correct use of the term moneysink, it doesn't matter what your opinion is.

As i said, sorry for not clarifying, no need to get pissy about it. :huh:

By 'not clarifying' you mean sorry for 'being wrong'

 

Right?

You don't need to keep showing us that you're about ten, it was evident back in March when you made the thread.

Right?

 

What, i use a slightly wrong term.

 

Moneysinking out of a person is not so much different that money sinking out of the game :thumbsup:

 

Especially in the context of the opening post, which is complaining about skills taking to much money to train.
